What a cool thing. So great her parents could provide mobile support during the journey. It's reassuring to know youth are discovering and enjoying the incredible outdoors we have in America.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/52576706eab8ea87246c309anunyabizThu, 10 Oct 2013 22:48:38 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/52576706eab8ea87246c309a
Obviously you know nothing about hiking the appalachian trail.
Almost all thru-hickers spend time in hotels or whatever. A Thru-hiker simply means that you continue your hike in succession and cover the entire length.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/525727b069bedd5b456c30a4violatedchimpThu, 10 Oct 2013 18:18:24 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/525727b069bedd5b456c30a4
Yes it is. Don't be a dick.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/525727496bb3f759136c309cviolatedchimpThu, 10 Oct 2013 18:16:41 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/525727496bb3f759136c309c
Nothing you just said was remotely accurate. Haven for serial killers? The rate of violence on the AT is extremely low compared to the general population anywhere. 0.75 per million. That's less than a person per million hikers. Any place in the country would kill for that statistic.
"I don't even know how to describe how low the value of human life (especially for women ) in a lot of the areas the Appalachian Trail goes through."
What does that even mean? Does the trail you're talking about detour into Somalia? In regards to "valuing human life", I think you'd have problems finding a more hospitable place than the East coast of the United States. What, because a lot of it is rural you think everyone there is misogynistic child rapists? Your ignorance is staggering.
"I can't even begin to explain in a believable way, the amount of people that regualrly prey on the people who use that trail."
Well, a statistic would be a start, but those disprove your point don't they?
"And BI is advertising it to the sickos along the trial"
First off, she has 15 days left or whatever it was, so in your mind, someone will pack up from wherever they live, find her GPS thing, go miles and miles out into the woods where it's like 40 degrees out, avoid all the other hikers, and then do "sicko" stuff. Sorry, I don't want to tell sickos how to do their jobs, but I assume it would be much easier just to go a playground down the street.
Seriously, take like two seconds to figure out what you're talking about next time.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5257254a6bb3f7f50e6c3098EdwinThu, 10 Oct 2013 18:08:10 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5257254a6bb3f7f50e6c3098
Sleeping in a trailer is not thru-hiking.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/525721916bb3f7190a6c3098CynicalOneThu, 10 Oct 2013 17:52:17 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/525721916bb3f7190a6c3098
The Appalachian trail is a very scary place. It's a haven for serial killers for instance. This girl is only 15, fine as crap and wearing skin tight clothing. I don't even know how to describe how low the value of human life (especially for women ) in a lot of the areas the Appalachian Trail goes through. I can't even begin to explain in a believable way, the amount of people that regualrly prey on the people who use that trail. This is incredibly foolish...
And her parents are letting her walk the trail alone?
Posting daily updates of her exact location?
And BI is advertising it to the sickos along the trial?
